A rare planetary alignment has arrived, and all you have to do to enjoy it is to know where and when to look.
What is a planetary alignment?
Even though the planets could appear close, they are actually millions of miles away from each other. Jupiter, the fifth planet from the sun, is about 484 million miles from the giant star and just over 400 million miles away from Mercury.
"Unless you have a clear sky and a nearly flat western horizon free of obstructions such as trees or buildings, you won’t see Jupiter and Mercury," Fienberg said.
